2) 5 N
3) 10 N
4) 20 N

The amount of force exerted by the tree on the student is 10 N
Given that,

A student pushes against a tree with a force of 10 newtons (N). The tree does not move.

Based on this, we can say that

The amount of force should be same as each & every action should be equivalent & in the opposite reaction as the newton third law of motion.

Therefore we can conclude that The amount of force exerted by the tree on the student is 10 N

The amount of force exerted by the tree on the student is 10 N, which is equal and opposite to the 10 N force exerted by the student on the tree. This is in accordance with Newton's Third Law of Motion. Therefore, the answer is option 3) 10 N.
